So I guess congratulations are in order, but I do consider this a very crapy way to win, or lose.

Psi: 100 provinces per player is too much, maybe 30-40 if you want a really big game. You could place some special sites or give items to players like in artifacts game, maybe use that mod for a special National hero you start with, Epic hero mod I think.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

hey, i killed off any of psi's SC's he sent at me - so I don't feel too bad myself for the win :)
(6 wraithlords, 2 tarts, 1 chayot, 1 golem, 1 djinn, 1 rudra)

the game's called Dominions for a reason... it is a mistake to ignore it.

anyways, gg - i'm glad it's over, gives me some time back ;p
I was surprised how quickly the dominion fell, though.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

Yeah me too, I can focus on more important games now.

"the game's called Dominions for a reason... you don't want to ignore it."

Yeah I know it's just that your dominion went x10 in about 6 turns or so, that's just too much.

I do think Hinnom is still overpowered.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

Could you post your last turn perhaps.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

Hinnom is overpowered still, though it took a very nice hit with the patch.

the issue in this game was that the Melquarts have a blood hunt/blood sacrifice bonus of 3, making hinnom almost as good as mictlan for pushing dominion. I'd suggest lowering that to a 1.

Hinnom really does lack magic path combos, which hurt quite a bit, does tend to kill its pop, and has very inefficient blood hunting.

I think it was closer to 20 turns that I started pushing dominion, against Lanka. When that fell, the wave really ramped up. Still, a concerted effort at that time would likely have worked.

With a dominion of 4, and only 1 temple I think, your dom didn't even put up a fight - so I too was surprised at the speed of the progress.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

Uh ... i missed that the game is already over ... so congratulation to archaeolept ... a domkill victory ... awesome ... never thought that something like that is possible ;-).

Btw ... looks like your win was the perfect proof of authority for my attack war declaration ... nevertheless you were to good

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

I've been meaning to add "Nicely done!"

In case anyone was watching, Lanka was on the edge of collapse for most of the game from both a military and Dominion front. At one point I spent about 6 turns with only one candle in my main province and all of my mages Preaching like mad. Nailing Abysia and the arrival of my god ended that, but if a someone had joined Pangaea and Abysia in the attacks/domkill I would have been done for much earlier.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

yah, i was pretty astounded at how harsh conditions were for you guys up in that corner - what dominion did you take, K?

I started the dominion push as a low effort way to take out the lankan remnants, but it was clear there was so little resistance to the dominion flood...I just stayed w/ it

otoh, at the end there, it looked like I had enough SCs built up that I had the military might to have made a go of it anyways. But the dominion push was a lot easier :)

If someone really does want to see my empire, i can email the 2nd last turn to them (where there were exciting fights).

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

I really doubt you had more SC than me. :)
Every Jarl was a SC.
A whole lot of good that did.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

well, they need to be kitted somewhat to qualify...

including unkitted baalz/melquarts, I had over 40 of those, and maybe 15 other SCs - demon lords, grigori, heliophagi, an air queen, my Teleporting Giant Mummy SC killer... Enough to make a difference :)

The Grigori aren't half bad :p
